DISPENSER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 41, 1919.,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. HOHNS- BEEN, a citizen of the United States, resident of Minneapolis, county of Hennepin, and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dispensers,

of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to dispensers and particularly to dispensers of liquid soap, and the object of the invention is to provide a liquid soap dispenser, which shall be simple and convenient in its operation.

A further object is to provide a dispenser of simple sanitary construction and one in which the flow of the contents may be adjusted.

Other objects of the invention will appear from the following detailed description.

The invention consists generally in various constructions and combinations, all as hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification,

Figure l is a top view of a dispenser embodying my invention,

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view,

Fig. 3 is a front view.

In the drawing, 2 represents a cup or con tainer which is preferably the shape of a hemisphere. A lug 3 is mounted in the inside of the container 2 being cast integrally therewith. The lug 3 supports a coiled spring 4, which is seated against the inside of the container 2. A shoulder 5 is provided around the edge of the container 2 on which is seated a diaphragm cover 6, preferably of thin, flexible metal. The cover 6 is fastened to the container 2 by soldering, brazing or other suitable means. A nipple 7 is inserted in the side of the container 2, said nipple being provided with an orifice 8. 9 represents the liquid contents of the container, and said contents may be forced from the container through the orifice by pressing inwardly on the diaphragm cover 6, which after inward pressure is released thereon resumes its normal position by reason of its flexible construction, aided by the outward pressure of the spring 4:. The flow of the contents 9 through the orifice 8 may be regulated by means of an adjustable screw 10 seated in the inward end of the nipple 7.

A. pair of lugs 11 is provided opposite the nipple 7 on the outside of the container 2 and cast integrally therewith. By means of said lugs 11 and a screw 12 the container 2 is coupled to the end of an arm 13. The other end of said arm is supported by the projecting flanges 14 of a plate 15, which is secured by screws 16 or other suitable means to any convenient support 17, such as the wall of a room. The arm 13 is fastened between the flanges 14 by means of a screw 18 passing through a hole 19 in the end of said arm,which is free to oscillate in a h0rizontal plane, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1. If desired, the arm 13 may be held in a rigid position by withdrawing the screw 18, pushing the end of the rod into the recess 20 in the plate 15 and then inserting the screw 18 through the hole 21.

In its normal position the container 2 hangs below the arm 13, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. To fill said container, it may be swung upwardly above said arm, the nipple 7 removed by means of a wrench, and the liquid poured therein through the opening.

I claim as my invention:

1. A soap dispenser comprising an arm having means for mounting it in a horizontal position on the wall, a cup pivoted on said arm and having a diaphragm-like cover and adapted to contain a supply of soap, the lower wall of said cup having a soap discharge orifice through which the soap is delivered when pressure is applied to said diaphragm.

2. A liquid soap dispenser comprising a semi-spherical soap receptacle having a discharge orifice in its wall, a diaphragm closing the open side of said receptacle, pressure on said diaphragm discharging the soap through said orifice, and a suitable support whereon said receptacle is pivoted.

3. A soap dispenser comprising an arm having means for mounting it on a suitable support, a cup pivoted on said arm and adapted to contain a supply of soap, 2. thin metallic plate closing the open side of said cup and normally in a vertical position and forming a diaphragm, the wall of said cup having a soap discharge orifice through which the soap is delivered when pressure is applied to said diaphragm.

4:. A soap dispenser comprising a cupshaped receptacle having means on its wall for pivotal connection with a suitable support, a cover diaphragm closing the open side of said receptacle and normally assummg a substantially vertical position when the 'cup is notin use, =theloweir \Val1rbf-Saldcup having a plug providechwlthia discharge orifice and means for regulating the flow of soap therethrough, pressure on said cover--- operating to dlscharge the soap through said 5.
